Across TCGA pan-cancer cohorts, RANP8 RNA differs between tumor and matched normal tissue in 5 of 18 cancer types tested, making tumor–normal expression one of RANP8’s most consistent transcriptional readouts.
The strongest signal is observed in rectum adenocarcinoma (READ), where RANP8 RNA is more highly expressed in tumor relative to normal tissue. In most cancer types RANP8 is over-expressed in tumor, although a few such as LUSC show the opposite, repressed pattern.
READ, BRCA, and STAD are the cancer types where RANP8 tumor–normal differential expression is most reproducible.
